And, following Joy, a better lay out and some punctuation to make it easier to read :)

"Thank you Uzzi. Where am I heading?
Deep into the tomes of time. This is after all a place where we discover the past. What I'm getting at it, until we look at the bigger picture we often make hasty judgments, of which I myself am often found guilty and this time is
no(t) exception.

See, I have always admired the Normans for bringing us such beautiful architecture, our castles, cathedrals etc. Inasmuch as I admired the Romans for are ( our) roads, baths etc what I didn't look at in both these cases was the cost to us mere Saxons. I am now looking at it from ( with) new eyes, from a different perspective or as Mike Rutherford puts it "we may have a new perspective on a different day".

Those poor Saxons lost homes, land, everything so we could have beautiful castles and cathedrals to look at. The land they once owned, for their sins they had to work hard on as slaves for the rest of their days ~ would we have not also shown violence in the protection of are (our) families?x "

it's pedantic maybe, but it does make an interesting subject so much easier to read I think?

One man's 'terrorist' is another man's 'freedom fighter' ( that's the Irish in me ;) )

npt a prob Joy my spellings probably denote that its me typed the original and me wat said it x a point to note though Joy is yur dont make no sense see when yu took out my "ar" yu replaced it with "are" when really yu shoulda put "our" so perfectionist or no yu created something less perfect than what was already there

hope yu dow mind me pointing this out

lol Joy I was just about to correct my grammer ......

Add

maybe its the perfectionist in me
but i have corrected your spelling errors
hope you dont mind

I like the mother and her cubs bit Uzzi the so seemingly docile mother turning into a ferocious beast to protect those she loves guess its in all of us x

Mel I am not sure where you are heading with this

but

I have always said that I would protect me and mine no matter what and if that meant shooting somebody so be it. A tad drastic in comment but not in sentiment.

So yes what some could percieve as a violent nature is from me pure protectiveness on my behalf.

a bit like a mother animal and her cubs.

in the same lighte the junk we dig up out of the ground may look like tet to us yet our ancient ancestors treasures these object ~ bit like an old blue stone I got in a gold inlay sept its only plated and the stone is just glass my daughter cast it aside when she was looking through my jewellery box yet its one of my most treasured possesions why cos it belonged to my Grandmother x

so wen the Saxons were showing violence towards the Vikings could this not be percieved as protecting their families x

I would say that it is only to the perpetrators that violence is seen as protection Mel.

or what could be deemed but some as violence is seen to others as protection x

e.g one man's treasure is another man's rubbish x
